ARTIST’S STATEMENT: “After thinking about this concept for many years I’m super excited to share ‘Illuminated Pages - Tanya.’ Each and every letter of the original first page of Tanya have been cut out, set against a colored pane and lit from behind. When we learn the Tanya we reveal the hidden light. The letters of the Tanya are the source of the light. Now this light can be seen - literally. The Tanya is the ‘Torah SheBal Peh’ of Chassidus - the Written Torah of Chassidus. Each letter of each word is holy and pure and written with tremendous intent. The Tanya is the embodiment of Kabbalah, the hidden part of the Torah handed down from teacher to disciple through the generations. The Tanya reveal these secrets and makes them accessible to all. ‘Illuminated Pages - Tanya’ attempts to visualize this concept, bringing the letters to life. The letters of the Tanya are the source of light, when learned, the letters themselves light up our life.” (Gratitude to Kehot Publication Society for permission of use).
